Review of Upstream Color (2013) by Granny Mary J — 03 Jul 2013

I give it 5 stars for keeping my interest. At least five or six times, I was ready to stop watching it. I couldn't turn it off though, because finishing the film was much like the compulsion to look at a car accident.

I just knew the film wouldn't end well, but I had to watch it. It seemed to be straight forward enough in the beginning, but then it went down the rabbit hole. A few minutes later it would start to make sense again.

But just when I thought I knew what was happening, something would throw me off. As I got more and more confused and frustrated, I just got more and more determined to see it through in hopes that it would all come together somehow.

I know it's cliché, but I have to say, I want my 96 minutes back.
